Sleepy Strawberry

The women in a family are reunited due to an event involving the father. They hold a lot of resentment/hate but are forced to deal with an uncomfortable and complicated situation
Road movie vibes
Sister/sibling relationships
Adult main characters in different stages in their lives/professions/different individual struggles

Both are movies about two (queer) guys who have a kind of complicated relationship. Theyre kind of confused about their feelings but attracted and drawn to eachother
Lots of dance sequences
Similar vibes, 10dance in particular has some scenes that are very reminiscent of Wong Kar Wais direction style

Movies about two people who kind of shouldnt be together and have other 'partners" but are intensely attracted to eachother
Lots of tension, longing
10dance has some wong kar wai esk dreamy, choppy sequences too

Both are media with horror/supernatural elements as well as lgbt/queer content
teenagers becoming entangled in strange happenings while clinging onto the boy they like... who is not what they seem

short and very sweet/wholesome/nice movies produced by the same company (strongberry) and uploaded to their youtube channel. Feature male/male relationships/romances and have a happy ending.

Korean independent coming of age stories with a family element
delicate and empathetic story telling
similar vibes
real world issues

Queer teenagers navigating life/coming of age,
dealing with crushes, romance but also violence and rejecting
mostly calm vibe

Both movies are very different in plot and... basically everything? (I guess both have a focus on music and take place in a school). I still felt like linking them through a recommendation as they feature the same main actor - Shim Hyun-seo. He started acting at a young age, so a lot of his youth is captured in films.
If you liked his portrayal as Yuwol and are curious about what hes been up to lately i suggest watching 404 as it shows a more grown up version. Likewise, if you liked him in 404 and are interested in checking out his previous works or his incredible dancing skills Yuwol seems like a good starting point

japanese stories adapted from manga by the same names
- main characters are part of a band
- both deal with life struggles and grief/loss in particular
given is much more of a romance but solanin also has some 'romance' as two of the characters are in a relationship

Boys Love dramas airing in the summer of 2026
darker, toxic vibes
two guys start working together, lines between their business relationship and a romantic/sexual begin to blur
hate/love dynamic
one character is alot more dominant/domineering
a couple of (freaky) nc scenes in both

Both stories are political/take place in times of political turmoil/restrictions
characters are (student) protesters
lgbtq+ themes and characters
not everybody gets a happy ending
